Not a big crime/mystery enthusiast, but with how quickly this sucked me in I can see myself getting more into it down the line.

Very well paced, stylistically it enamored me  — it felt stark and upfront, which seemed right given where it takes place. I had a great time with it but overall I feel like it lacked something. Hard to pin down, because as it is, it’s a pretty great package.
